What a great few weeks of wrestling for the Cavemen. Starting the first week in January we had two wrestlers compete in annual All-Star Classic. Cameron Hunsaker and Andrew Bartholomew. The following day we traveled to Provo to square off against the Bulldogs. The Cavemen came away victorious on all levels. The final varsity score was 53-18.

The following week proved to be a test for the cavemen and their conditioning. Wow what a fun filled week of wrestling that was. We started the week off with a bang up at Brighton High School. The Bengals became food the starving Cavemen. The final score ended up 55 - 24. The cavemen dominated from top to bottom as of the Bengals 24 points, 12 came from two forfeits by the the cavemen. So in all fairness of the 12 matches wrestled the cavemen won 10 with 8 of those by pin. This set the stage for Thursdays match with Lone Peak and the Knights.

This match is a battle every year going back and forth. The match started out with what looked like what would be a win for the Knights by a blowout. After only 6 matches the Knights led by a score of 26 -6 (12 points coming from forfeits). But that was not the end of the Cavemen. The Cavemen proved too strong for the Knights winning 6 of the remaining matches (5 by pin). This was enough to seal the deal for the Cavemen. The final score was 40-33 for the Cavemen wrestlers. Congrats on a great victory. It is always great to beat the Knights, especially on their turf.

The wrestlers then traveled to the Rumble Wrestling Tournament. This is the most prestigious wrestling event hosted in the state. There were 70 teams from Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, Washington, and Idaho. There were many multiple time returning state champions and qualifiers from all states represented. The cavemen had their ups and downs. But in the end they crowned 1 champion (the first ever for AF wrestling at this event) in Cameron Hunsaker at 106 pounds. They also placed 1 other wrestler in the top 8 in Andrew Bartholomew (7th place) at 132 pounds.

What a great week of wrestling. This week the Cavemen will be tested as they host the 3 time State Champs from PG. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE.
